Runaway to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction #2)
By Nicole Flockton

4-stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author so I can honestly say that this book can be read as a standalone as I had no problem following along with this one.

Runaway to the Outback is a great romance read, I’m always a huge fan of small-town romances, there’s something so simplistic and relatable about them. Granted this one isn’t quite as relatable as the main character is a well-known model but I still enjoyed it all the same.

If you are looking for a sweet small town romance this is the book for you!

This is the 5th book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series, a series that I believe should be read in order as each new book sort of follows the last with the same main characters. Just like the other books of the series I was able to read this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading.

I loved the funny banter between the characters, the mystery and trying to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. I have enjoyed each book of the series but this one has been my favorite so far. If you are looking for an entertaining, funny, light hearted mystery look no further this is the book for you!

Wow!! This was a truly emotional and phenomenal read, one that at times I had a hard time reading. This author did an exceptional job with these characters, they were dynamic, honest and real. I felt such strong empathy for them and felt so invested in their story, and I was not disappointed with how it all turned out.

This story had me feeling all kinds of emotions as I got further into the story of Branson and his mental health struggles. I believe stories like this one should be read by all, this is a really misunderstood mental illness and I feel as if I was able to learn and understand more about it in a real and relatable way.

4-stars

This is the second book in this author’s Journeys Through series, a series that can be read out of order but for reader enjoyment I would suggest reading book 1 first.

Right from the beginning this author pulls you in with all of the detail! In the first few chapters I did find that the amount of detail is slightly overwhelming as the storyline flips from different POV’s, however, I was able to quickly piece everything together as I continued reading. I am in awe with all of the detail and background information, you can clearly tell that this author has spent countless hours researching this topic.

I enjoyed following along with some of the characters from the first book and I also enjoyed all of the surprise elements and the shocking moments that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a one of a kind read!

Hold Me Forever is the first book I have read in this series so I can honestly say that it can be read as a standalone, as I was able to jump right in and follow along without any problem. However, I loved this book so much that I will absolutely be diving back into the series and reading the first two books of the Heron Harbor series.

I loved both Lark and Hunter, they were two characters with so much history and chemistry that you could practically feel through the pages. I found them super easy to connect with, the author managed to make them feel so real and I quickly found myself feeling invested in how their story was going to play out. And let me tell you I was not disappointed!

I look forward to starting this series over from the beginning and I look forward to hopefully reading more of some of my favorite secondary characters.

THE MARCY SERIES BOXSET: BOOKS 1-3 by Linda J. Burson – Review by Kaitlynn Taylor

The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3 by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rage

Rage by Linda Burson is the first book in The Marcy Series and it’s certainly one interesting read. There is never a dull moment as its action packed with murder, love, new connections, and new understandings. This book was nothing like I was expecting, there was so much more to it than what I had originally thought. I will admit I found it hard to get into in the beginning as it was a bit confusing and I found the interactions between the characters to be really formal and not as real but as I continued to read I became more and more invested.

There were lots of twists and turns that kept me on my toes, I was constantly trying to predict the outcome, yet time and time again I was wrong and left with so many questions. Marcy was certainly a complex character, she’s angry, aggressive, troubled, and sometimes clueless. Her character really developed throughout this story, and while I didn’t agree with most of her actions she was a fun character to read about.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series so I can see the story through to the end and to get answers to all my questions.

Confusion

Confusion by Linda Burson is book two in her Marcy series, it’s intense, action filled and very intriguing. I would strongly suggest reading this series in order as they cannot be read as standalones. Confusion takes off right where Rage, book one, left off.

I found that this storyline flowed better in comparison to the first. The conversations between the characters were less formal and more natural and there seemed to be more detail in the story.

I still wasn’t able to connect with Marcy as her actions were all over the place and she always jumped into life changing situations with no real thought. Constantly caught between Brad and Liam that she’s stuck living a double life, one that seems a bit unrealistic which made it hard to really connect with her.

With that being said I still want to see where and what Marcy will do next. I will be continuing the series with Book three, Agony and Ecstasy.

Agony & Ecstasy

This is the third book in the Marcy Series, a series that should be read in order as each new book follows the last. I have enjoyed reading along with Marcy’s journey. Though she can be a frustrating character at times I did enjoy her character development. I felt really invested in her story and I’m really happy with how it all played out!!

Just like the first two books this one is action packed, filled with all kinds of drama, emotions, romance, etc. It really is a well-rounded book, one that I was able to read in one sitting!

I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

I loved being able to continue reading about the original characters and following along with their journeys. It was a pleasure getting to know Hen on a deeper level, he was a character that I was easily able to connect with.

The author writes with just the right amount of detail to leave you guessing but also filling in the much-needed blanks. I found the author did a great job portraying mental illness in a real and honest way and I enjoyed that.
